Privacy policy
Epona.pro loads Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity and Adsterra ads on the first visit, without waiting for a click. The banner tells you and lets you reject; Reject turns those three off and is remembered for 180 days. Google Fonts loads by default. A privacy-enhanced YouTube player loads only after Play is pressed. Reject disables all of these services on subsequent page loads.

Cookies and local storage
The site itself writes two local-storage records, not cookies: epona.consent holds your choice (granted or denied), the ads and analytics flags, and an expiry 180 days out; epona.adbar.closed is written when you press “Hide ad bar” and keeps the Social Bar closed until you clear site data. The Cookie settings button in the footer reopens the banner so you can change the choice; clearing site data removes both records immediately.
Adsterra and the advertisers it serves set their own cookies from bicea.org and the creative hosts they choose. Their names and lifetimes depend on the campaign; this site has no verified fixed retention period for them. The site does not control those cookies; the Adsterra privacy policy and the opt-out links below are the places to manage them.
Who receives data, and why
- Google Analytics 4 (GA4) receives page views, the page URL, browser/device information and a client id from
googletagmanager.comandgoogle-analytics.com. Google uses it to produce aggregate traffic reports for this site. The site has not independently verified the property-specific event-retention setting; Google’s policy explains its processing. Loading is enabled by default; this automatic setting is not an affirmative consent action. Reject stops future collection by this site’s loader. Opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on. - Microsoft Clarity receives page views, clicks, scroll depth, and a session recording with form fields masked by default, through
www.clarity.msandscripts.clarity.ms. Retention depends on the data category and Clarity’s current settings and policy. Loading is enabled by default and disabled by Reject. Microsoft processes the data under its own privacy statement. - Adsterra receives the page URL, your IP address, and cookie or device signals when its Native Banner and Social Bar load from
bicea.org. It uses them to choose and measure ads. Advertising loads by default and is disabled by Reject. The three Google advertising consent signals begin denied; loading an independent ad-network script does not change those signals. The site turns adult ads off. Adsterra explains its own processing in its privacy policy. - Google Fonts receives the IP address that requests the Barlow Condensed and Source Sans 3 files from
fonts.googleapis.comandfonts.gstatic.com. Purpose: typography. Fonts load by default and are disabled by Reject. Google’s font cache policy governs retention. No cookie is set for the font request. - YouTube (the privacy-enhanced player at
www.youtube-nocookie.com) makes no player request until you press Play. The preview image is served by this site. Pressing Play loads the player; Reject removes it and prevents loading until the choice changes. Google’s privacy policy applies.
There is no Google AdSense tag, no Popunder, no Banner unit, and no Smartlink on this site. The only ad network is Adsterra, with the two page-level formats named above. The site does not build an account or run a store. Default advertising shares browser/device signals with the network and its campaign partners as described above.
Your choices and rights
On a first visit the site treats analytics and ads as granted, loads them, and shows the banner so the choice is visible. Press Reject and the site stores denied for 180 days, reloads the page so existing third-party code stops executing; the next document omits the analytics, replay, ads, fonts and video requests. Press Accept to reload with those services available again. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track are treated as Reject even before you click. You can reopen the banner from Cookie settings in the footer.
You can ask what data is held about you, ask for a correction or deletion, or object to processing. Email [email protected]; mail is kept only as long as needed to answer and to preserve a correction, then deleted. You can also complain to your local data-protection authority. Google, Microsoft and Adsterra may process data outside your country under their standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision. This policy changes by editing this page; the date at the top is the change log.

FAQ

How do I change the choice?
Use Cookie settings in the footer. Accept restores analytics, Clarity and ads; Reject turns them off again.
Do you sell data?
The site has no account or store. Advertising shares browser/device signals with the ad network and its campaign partners; Reject disables the site’s third-party loaders.
